The "Talking Woman" Play Reading

Friends, family, theatre buffs and some loyal KPBS listeners came out last night (August 11, 2012) for the premiere reading of Mark Hiss' "Talking Woman."

It was hot!  The weather, not the play.  You can't call a period play about burlesque in San Diego in 1949 hot, but you can call it a real sender, the bees knees and an excellently rendered, beautifully wrought, well acted piece of theatre getting up on its feet for the first time.

And we have the pictures to prove it.
